- VINCENTpartial | Passive Finger Prostheses | Vincent Systems
Passive finger prostheses for the prosthetic reconstruction of a partial hand – up to 110° swivel range, functional, lightweight, aesthetic. VINCENTpartial passive The passive partial hand system enables prosthetic reconstruction of a partial hand. It consists of functional passive finger and thumb prostheses that can be locked in place in one or two joints in different angular positions. The weight-optimized stainless steel joints with variable-length finger or thumb attachments are very robust and water-resistant. The variable-length finger or thumb sleeves are made of durable and stain-resistant HTV silicone. The fingers are mounted directly to the stem with two screws coming from the stem or are aligned and fixed in position via various frame types made of stainless steel sheet and aluminum adapters. The fingers can be equipped with one or two successive ratchet joints. The joints function in such a way that pulling in the distal finger direction releases the locking of the joint - positioning is now possible. Releasing the finger causes the joint to lock into the desired position. In addition to the distal locking joint, the thumb has a proximal basic joint for lateral pivoting. The basic joint can be pivoted by 110° via friction locking, and the force required for this can be adjusted. The thumb is aligned and fixed in place by means of a frame plate and a threaded base plate, which can also be laminated directly into the stem. All in all, VINCENTpartial passive is an easy-to-use, robust and functional passive finger and thumb system. Flyer VINCENTpartial passive Mounting instructions finger Mounting instructions thumb

- Fluidhand9 | Vincent Systems
2006 - Fluidhand 9 Up The Fluidhand 9 has 5 drives of different sizes. The base joints of the index finger and middle finger are equipped with stronger drives. The elastic fluid tank is located in the wrist. When the fingers are emptied, they are stretched and the fluid is pumped from the finger joints into the elastic tank in the wrist, bending the wrist and opening the hand further. The pump is noise-isolated and free-swinging in a CFRP tank; valves and controls are located in the metacarpus, which is completely covered with CFRP. The thumb with a drive in the base pivots between flat hand and opposition position to the three-point grip. For reasons of optimizing speed and tank size, separate drives for the ring and little fingers were omitted, but these two long fingers are actively moved by coupling with the base joint of the middle finger. The control valve for the thumb drive is located in the distal thumb phalanx. The wrist with a 4-pole coaxial insert is compatible with all stem systems, control is via two EMG sensors, and it is possible to switch between several grip types by means of short switching signals. This last version of the Fluidhand for the time being also features a Bluetooth interface for mobile devices as well as a vibrotactile sense of touch. The Fluidhand 8 is currently the last further development of the multi-articulating hydraulic hand based on flexible fluid actuators. The aim of this hand version was to provide a pre-product ready for series production for a hand prosthesis commercially available on the fitting component market and to convince potentially interested parties of the development for marketing. The bionic hand prosthesis, which is already suitable for everyday use, was manufactured and tested in a small series. It is thus the first bionic multi-articulating hand prosthesis and also the first hydraulic hand prosthesis.

- Fluidhand2 | Vincent Systems
1999 - Fluidhand 2 Up The new planar technology for manufacturing fluidic drives and kinematics was therefore ideally suited for actively moving miniature catheters and endoscopes. However, the forces achievable with planar film drives, which operate at a working pressure of 0.5-1 bar, were too low for the construction of an artificial hand. To generate higher grasping forces, a correspondingly higher working pressure had to act in the fluidic drives. For Fluidhand 2, “artificial muscles” based on thin silicone hoses were therefore used, which were sheathed with a flexurally flexible, stretch-resistant fabric made of polyamide. The tubes of the Fluidhand 2 were unfolded in the finger joints. When subjected to an overpressure of up to 4 bar, the joints expanded unilaterally and realized a curvature in the opposite joint direction. Each finger of the hand has two pneumatic muscles, the thumb has three, the wrist has four. The extension is done by a rubber band. The joint and support structure in the fingers, thumb and hand, was made of fiber-reinforced composite material. The artificial hand scored with its consistently soft and compliant structure, very fast movements and pronounced adaptability when grasping. The grasping forces achieved were around 2.5 N per finger. Objects heavier than 500 g could not yet be grasped with this hand. As in Fluidhand 1, the hand was driven by compressed air, which meant that a powerful compressor was required to operate the hand. Up

- Previous model | VINCENTevolution4
Previous model to the VINCENTevolution5: proven myoelectric technology, robust, lightweight, and waterproof. VINCENTevolution4 World leader at all levels WATERPROOF The world's first waterproof hand prosthesis according to IP68 (protection against prolonged submersion) EXTREMELY LIGHT The world's lightest multi-articular hand prosthesis EXTREMELY ROBUST The world's only prosthetic hand with a complete skeleton made of aluminum or titanium SENSE OF TOUCH The world's first and so far only hand prosthesis with sense of touch EASY OPERATION The world's most intuitive hand prosthesis, in which all grasp types are controlled by muscle signals PRECISION Precise powerful pinch grip enables the gripping of objects as small as ⌀1 mm CUSTOMIZABLE The world's only hand prosthesis in 5 sizes and 25 colour combinations Precision and quality The fourth generation of our hand prostheses, VINCENTevolution4, builds on the successful drive concept of VINCENTevolution3, with further improvements in gripping force and speed. The precision of the grips, the aesthetics and the quality of the hand are outstanding. Sophisticated control system A unique feature is the patented single-trigger control system, which allows all grip types to be controlled uniquely and reliably with fine sensitivity via the muscles alone. The hand does not need buttons on the back of the hand, motion controls or a smart device to select a function or grip. These types of control often take too long in practice, so the desired grips will be performe d more quickly by the natural hand. In contrast, all movements and handle changes of the VINCENTevolution4 are controlled exclusively and directly by the muscles of the prosthesis wearer and are therefore completely independent of the opposing natural hand or second prosthesis. The absence of buttons and the simplicity of the control system allow the user to safely control the prosthesis from any movement and in any situation and to achieve any grip change quickly and without errors. The prosthesis can thus optimally assist the opposite hand and thus contribute its full potential to everyday life. Uncompromisingly waterproof We have been able to implement many innovations with the new generation of hands. For example, the VINCENTevolution4 is the world's first hand prosthesis to achieve the IP68 degree of protection, which means it is uncompromisingly waterproof against continuous submersion up to a maximum of 1.5 meters for a maximum of 30 minutes, with no restrictions on the salt or chlorine content or the quality of the water. Elastic fingers The gel encapsulated fingers run more smoothly and the flexible mounting of the finger base joints allows the fingers to be squeezed together naturally when the hand is slightly spread. This not only makes the hand feel more natural, but the flexibility of the fingers also makes them much more robust and resistant to all kinds of stress. Adaptive shell For the first time, the shell of the metacarpus consists almost entirely of an elastic, high-strength material. The soft surface and its excellent adaptive properties significantly improve both the feel and the grip. In particular, the soft knuckles relieve the hand during support and extend the service life of the optionally available lifelike textile-based cosmetic gloves. A special innovation is also the completely dust-tight covering of the finger and thumb base joints. All openings of the hand have been closed by space-saving visor-like joint solutions. The optimized finger and thumb tips have been given finger nails and flattenings that enable even more precise gripping. The index finger is touch-screen compatible in the proven manner. Control with up to four muscles For the first time, a hand prosthesis has an integrated four-channel control system that allows up to four EMG sensors to be connected directly to the hand. The user can choose between two control variants: the single-signal control, in which all grips can be reached without problems and errors with only one switching signal, or the multi-channel control, in which several switching signals can be used to directly control the different grips. Controlling a bionic hand prosthesis has never been so easy and safe. Sensitive sense of touch A vibrotactile sense of touch has been integrated as standard in all VINCENT hand prostheses since VINCENTevolution1. The patented feedback of touch and gripping force provides the user with tactile information about finger strength through gentle coded vibrations of the hand, which are transmitted to the prosthesis shaft, and thus a feeling for the artificial hand. Gripping even fragile objects or sensitive control of the gripping force even without a direct eye contact to the object expand the options for the user. The extended hand feedback also stimulates the user's sensorimotor cortex, which can help reduce phantom limb pain. Tastes are different Five different basic colors give the VINCENTevolution4 an individual and unique design. The colors black, white, pearl white, transparent and natural are each available in combination with four different metal colors and titanium. 25 color combinations can be put together. A color change of the colored silicone parts is possible at any time. Less is more The smallest version of the VINCENTevolution4 XS weighs only approx. 390 g, making it not only the smallest and most stable multi-articulating hand prosthesis with 6 motors currently available, it is also by far the lightest.

- Fluidhand6 | Vincent Systems
2003 - Fluidhand 6 Up The Fluidhand 6 is a particularly compact version of the hydraulic hand prosthesis, reduced to the essentials. The index, middle and ring fingers are each moved in the base joint via a flexible bellows drive, the little finger is mechanically coupled to the ring finger, and the middle finger is hydraulically coupled to the ring finger. The thumb is actuated in the basic joint. In this way, the thumb and index finger can be moved separately, while the other fingers move together. The 4 drives are controlled by a 3 valve bank, the miniature pump sucks distilled water from a pressure storage tank to pump it into the drive chambers. The weight of the hand is about 350 g. The aluminum fingers were covered with a PU foam. In the basic joints, all long fingers have an elastically mounted abduction. At this stage of development, experiments were carried out with different variants of the fluid hand, with the number of joints and drives as well as the required valves being varied considerably. The aim was to find an optimum between size, anatomical design and weight on the one hand and functionality on the other. Extremely reduced versions with only 4 drives and three valves, such as the Fluidhand 6, were built, which could be designed in this way to be very small, light and anatomical. This version of the Fluidhand is a particularly interesting candidate for a robust prosthesis suitable for everyday use, since the smallest number of hydraulic components was installed here. The systems are very light throughout, but also very complex in terms of the physical effects that occur, such as cavitation or the problem of changing material parameters, especially the elastic drives and connecting hoses in the course of operation, as well as wear and corrosion on the valves and the pump.

- neo1 Myoelektric Exoskeleton | Vincent Systems
The neo1 exoskeleton for the upper extremities: myoelectric control, wearable under clothing, ideal for paralysis caused by stroke or plexus injuries. neo1 World's first under-clothing myoelectric exoskeleton for the upper extremity With neo1, Vincent Systems presents the breakthrough myoelectric exoskeleton designed specifically for users with limited upper extremity functionality, especially to compensate for paralysis caused by stroke and plexus injuries. This innovative technology uses advanced myoelectric control in conjunction with powerful micromotors in the elbow and hand areas to help users with their mobility and independence challenges due to their limitations. The myoelectric exoskeleton uses state-of-the-art sensor technology that detects and interprets the electrical signals generated by the user's muscles. By analyzing these signals, the exoskeleton intuitively responds to the user's movement intentions and allows them to regain control over their affected limbs. One of the most important features of this exoskeleton is its lightweight and ergonomic design. It is the world's first actively controlled exoskeleton that can be worn under the user's clothing due to its slim shape that is adapted to the body. This feature opens up a whole new horizon of applications as the system can be inconspicuously integrated into everyday life. Vincent Systems emphasizes comfort and adaptability, allowing users to wear the device for extended periods of time. The exoskeleton is customized to fit each user's anatomy. The control system is also user-specific, optimally adjusted for each wearer through a variety of parameters depending on the severity of the paralysis and the available muscle signals. In addition, the myoelectric exoskeleton offers different levels of support, allowing the user to gradually increase muscle activation and improve strength and control over time. This progressive approach promotes neuroplasticity and thereby also supports active rehabilitation. In the long term, positive effects are expected with regard to the reduction of phantom limb pain as well as a preventive effect with regard to the avoidance of overuse symptoms. neo1 we love perfection
- Fluidhand4 | Vincent Systems
2001 - Fluidhand 4 Up The Fluidhand 4 has 10 flexible bellows drives, each of which, when pressurized, angles an aluminum joint by 90 degrees. Stretching is achieved by suction of the drive medium and by additional elastic bands. Each long finger has two drives that are fluidically coupled to each other and each leads to a common control valve in the metacarpus. The thumb has two individually movable drives, each of which is actuated by a separate valve. The drive medium is water. This hand prosthesis operates hydraulically for the first time. A miniature pump draws the fluid from an elastic reservoir in the forearm and pumps it at up to 6 bar via the valve bank into the bellows drive chambers. The pump and valves are controlled by a microprocessor in the hand, and the prosthesis wearer gives the control commands via myoelectric sensors. The skeletal structure of the prosthesis is made entirely of aluminum. The long fingers are flexibly mounted in the base in the direction of abduction. The unique combination of flexible fluid actuators and a mobile miniature hydraulic system in a myoelectrically controlled hand prosthesis opens up new possibilities in prosthetic fitting. The mechanical properties of the drives are already soft and flexible, making them ideal for adaptive grasping analogous to the human hand. Since the internal pressure is also distributed evenly in a hydraulic system, an ideal form fit to gripped objects is achieved. The grip thus adapts to an object independently and creates a maximally large contact surface, with the result that only very little grasping force is required to keep an object extraordinarily stable. The use of a hydraulic system has another advantage, which has a particularly positive effect on the mobility and weight of a prosthesis. The flexible fluid actuators are in themselves very small and lightweight drives. In the hydraulic pump, the electrical energy of the prosthesis battery is converted into kinetic energy. Only one pump is needed for the entire prosthesis system. The pump is the heaviest system component, but it can be positioned anywhere on the prosthesis because it is only connected to the valve bank and the drives via a flexible pressure hose. For optimal weight distribution in the prosthesis, the pump is placed as proximally to the arm as possible. Since all joints of my prosthesis are usually never moved at the same time, the pump size can be sized for a smaller number of drives. The grip selection is made using a reduced Morse code. A distinction is made between a long and a short myoelectric signal, with two consecutive signals considered at a time. User-defined settings as well as grip training are performed via a Bluetooth-connected pocket computer (precursor to the smartphone). The CFRP stem (Frühauf Handprothetik) and the lifelike silicone cosmetic (Pohlig Orthopädietechnik) create for the first time the combination of a multiarticulating functional hand and a habitus prosthesis.

- Fluidhand5 | Vincent Systems
2002 - Fluidhand 5 Up The Fluidhand 5 was designed with the aim of integrating all system components of miniature hydraulics into the metacarpals in order to make the hand compatible with established socket systems. The prosthesis can be connected to all standard prosthetic sockets via a quicksnap wrist. Both the myoelectric sensors and the energy storage of the socket are used. The pump, fluid tank, valve bank and controller are located in and on the metacarpus. With the reduction in tank size, the number of fluidic drive was reduced to 8. The ring finger and little finger are flexed over one drive each. In the weight-optimized frame in sandwich construction, the elastic finger abduction was integrated. Five valves control the 8 drives of the hand, with the ring, little and middle fingers being hydraulically connected to each other. Each of the 8 bellows-like drives is covered with a fabric that ensures the dimensional stability of the elastic inner chambers when a fluid is pumped into the cavity at a pressure of up to 6bar. The central chambers are fixed at the joint pivot point by loadable cords, thus the expansion of the bellows is redirected into a 90 degree rotational movement of the finger joint. The resetting of a joint is achieved by negative pressure in the bellows drive when the drive chambers are emptied; an elastic band supports the stretching of the joints. For storing the drive medium, usually water, Fluidhand 5 experimented with both foil membrane tanks and pressure storage tanks consisting of an elastic hose tank and a stable housing. Up
